Sunday Reflection’s…

What a difference a week makes! We have moved plants in and out, and back in out ad infinitum… At least it seems like that 😇 But that’s Spring in TN! This last week we saw an 80 degree high, rain 🌧️ light snow ❄️ frosty mornings and then yesterday- The perfect day for an event that we have been putting on for 26 years – Our Annual Aquatic Workshop and Spring Fest ❤️

It looks like we are past Frost now 🙏🏻 So the planting is about to begin in earnest! Tomato’s 🍅 Squash, cucumbers 🥒 beans 🫘 Flowers 🌺 flowers flowers and more!

I enjoy my hanging baskets and flowers 🌺! Each year I create a “plant wall” of sorts to give me more shade and more privacy. I’m starting on this years design today! I ❤️ It!

My day is just getting started… More coffee ☕️ then I’m off…

“To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?”

~ Edna St. Vincent Millay

Enjoy your Sunday!

Sunday Reflection’s…

Cold morning 🥶 Low 20’s with frost and some ice 🧊 I’m already 2 pots of coffee ☕️ in today… BUT, things are looking up! Tonight is the last Low freezing temperature of the month! That’s right 😮 Highs in the 60’s and 70’s as we roll into March! 💥

These particular daffodils were planted by my Grandma Kathleen and always bring happy thoughts to me. They reach way back, and in her voice say “Spring is almost here”… ❤️🙏🏻

We have already past several milestones that say “Spring is Coming”!

  • Super Bowl ✔️
  • Fat Tuesday ✔️
  • Ash Wednesday ✔️
  • Valentines Day ✔️
  • And Presidents Day is tomorrow! ✔️

3 weeks from Today is daylight savings ☀️ Our time will “Spring Forward” as we gain a longer day and approach the Vernal Equinox.

Me? – I’ve been out around the place all morning. Moving a few things, doing chores and getting ready for the season… Planning some new Gardens and Garden structures too 😊 Nothing satisfies my soul like it… “Spring is Coming”!

“He knows no winter, he who loves the soil,
For, stormy days, when he is free from toil,
He plans his summer crops, selects his seeds
From bright-paged catalogues for garden needs.
When looking out upon frost-silvered fields,
He visualizes autumn’s golden yields;
He sees in snow and sleet and icy rain
Precious moisture for his early grain;
He hears spring-heralds in the storm’s ‘ turmoil­
He knows no winter, he who loves the soil.”

~ Sudie Stuart Hager

Enjoy this beautiful, cool day!

I’m about to walk into the studio and go – LIVE with our main man Seabass! on west TN’s #1 show – Everybody Talks 📻

  • Tune In! 101.5 FM

The big news of the day is… Weather! It’s about to get COLD 🥶 What does that mean for our Gardens, our pets and even our Koi Ponds? Call in today with any questions you may have and we will help!


Here’s a copy/paste from an old article I wrote to help folks with their Ponds – 👇🏻

The #1 Rule if your pond ever Ices over – NEVER, NEVER, NEVER break the ice by banging on it! It can cause your fish great harm – it can even KILL them! To allow the escape/exchange of gasses in a frozen over pond, keep a hole open in the ice. This is IMPORTANT!!! It will keep the gases from building up under the ice and allow for oxygen exchange and keep your fish from suffocating. This will also allow the pump to get water if the surface is frozen. If you have a skimmer, this will be MUCH easier on you! The water movement will help keep the ice from forming. You may need to keep the hole open by adding water from a water hose, bucket or pan of water. (This is why I always say “keep a dry hose” or a 5 gallon bucket for this purpose! If & when you use your water hose be sure to drain it when finished-to keep it from freezing and bursting, or just keep it in your garage). You can also use a floating pond heater or a small pump in a shallow area to “flash up’ and break the water surface. Just do it! 

Be ready before snow and ice cause a problem! 

We don’t get too many Ice Days’ here in West Tennessee, but when we do, it’s Never at a convenient moment… In other words, if your not prepared, it can be an emergency  

Simple Winter Pond Tool Kit  
1 – 5 gallon bucket 🪣 (use to add water as needed. Hot tap water from your faucet will melt a hole in ice if needed)

2 – Clean, dry Water-hose  (store in garage or shed so it will be ready to go when needed) 

3 – Floating Pond Heater (A floating heater will maintain a opening 🕳 in an ice covered pond. This will allow for oxygen exchange and will keep your Koi alive). 

That my Pond Tip today – Be Prepared! Next week, you might thank me…

And don’t worry! Spring is Coming! 

We might see some snow and ice this coming week – You know the drill 😇

Another VERY important thing to take care of is our pets! Make sure they have shelter and warmth. We will be facing Sub Zero wind chills 🥶 We Love our pets 🐕 🐈‍⬛ 🐓

Sunday Reflection’s…

What a beautiful, cool morning. The next 4 mornings in a row the temps will be in the low 40’s as well… as we enter the month of May. A little cool, but I’ll take it 😊 Blink and we are 1/2 way through Spring…

I love every season, but Spring is my favorite. I’m still woken by excitement many mornings this time of year and it drags me right out and into my garden 🪴
Which is where I’m headed now 😊 As soon as I finish this last cup of coffee ☕️

Sunday morning advise- Get out and enjoy some Cool Spring morning weather… Before it turns to Summer Heat 🌞


“In April, we cannot see sunflowers in France, so we might say the sunflowers do not exist. But the local farmers have already planted thousands of seeds, and when they look at the bare hills, they may be able to see the sunflowers already. The sunflowers are there. They lack only the conditions of sun, heat, rain and July. Just because we cannot see them does not mean that they do not exist.”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Enjoy this breezy Spring Day!
